| Werner's advice in my own words:

| 1. Don't pick an architecture because it's all the rage right
| now.
|
| 2. Don't pick an architecture that mimics your org's structure.
| Aka don't fall prey to Conway's law:
| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law.
|
| 3. Don't pick an architecture that your team can't operationalize
| --e.g. due to lack of skills or due to business constraints.

| * "I always urge builders to consider the evolution of their

| dependencies."
|
| * "There are few one-way doors. Evaluating your systems
| regularly is as important, if not more so, than building them
| in the first place."
